How to Reuse an old CRT TV with Modern Equipment 

This is actually perfect for playing old video games on via an emulator. PS2 and older era games just don't feel the same on modern TV's

I got a crt in my bedroom... but I’m not gonna upgrade to a newer one cuz i like retro gaming

My family still uses a crt in there living room but its a HD CRT with hdmi They are lucky

funny that you speak of the perfect TV and yet the perfect TV is right there, a CRT TV. why would one want to replace the True Gaming TV.

I didn't even know there was a SCART input before watching this video! Very educational, thank you!

I wonder if people have unrealistic expectations about how much better modern equipment is compared to older equipment. Honestly, the only time I've ever noticed a significant difference is when comparing an extremely old set ('73 if I remember) to a high end, modern flat-screen.

this is not a temporary replacement for me this is how i want to live

At last...clear instructions in real English .. excellent.

The black band is actually from your camera shutterspeed- the fps is correct so no flicker, but the shutterspeed is off sync, to capture crystal clear crt make sure to have your shutterspeed at 1/60 if you are capturing 60fps (PAL) or 50fps and 1/50 shutterspeed (NTSC)

My CRT will work for me for ages. I like it. I think the TVs and monitors both are workable for the long term. I think the monitors are especially so, given their potential resolutions and the fact they don't need scaling.

Nice video bud, these TV s will be retro in 10 years time!

Difference in picture quality between those Scart and Composite to HDMI converters isn't noticeable because that cheap scart converter outputs composite signal. RGB Scart would look a lot better but sadly those cheap converters doesn't output in RGB. Edit: And Composite is the second worst input on CRT TV's. RF < Composite < S-Video < Component < RGB Scart (or Component if you have an HD CRT) < DVI/HDMI (only on some HD CRT's)

I have a 10 or 13 inch, i am not sure. but it is a little tv and its been working wonders with its built in vhs player and rca input jacks. and even a headphone jack.

“This tv is a pal”

my family on has CRT TVs, and on monitor side, it's the opposite, basically all LCD monitors, well mostly opposite, my family has 1 CRT monitor that neighbors gave us

This is great. I bought a crt tv and one of those clone consoles for some retro fun. The clone console was total crap, but it's nice I can hook up my spare computer to my tv and play emulators and have authentic scanlines :D

this was the best video you have done yet keep up the hard work my mate VINCE

Never cared for those HD CRT TV from the early-mid 2000s.. Super heavy for the trouble it's worth.. A friend of mine had one manufactured in 2004.. It may have lasted 5 years before it started having problems.. Even the cheapest flat screen TV these days is much better than that... I bought an Emerson flat screen back in 2015 from Walmart, and it was around $120.. It's on all the time, I never shut it off and it still works like a charm.. Most people probably have thrown those out and bought a flat screen by this day in age.. Now on the other hand, I love classic TV sets from the 50s into the 80s..

Ive had a crt from the 60s for almost 7 years and i dont mind the resolution since i grew up around these but try having a lcd for that amount of time plus these crt monitors are built to last unlike the lcd counterpart

My uncle has a crt television in his basement but it has an HDMI port and it has like 3 or 4 av cable ports. He uses the the hdmi for his xfinity and has a retro duo and ps2 hooked up to av. So if you have that kind of tv you really do not need any adapters.

I love these things! They’re amazing for retro gaming!

Converting HDMI component is also possible. Many CRT TVs have it and and looks much better than composite video if your TV does not have SCART

How I watch RU-vid, Huluplus, and Netflix on my CRT TV is that I get an older model of a Roku that's compatible with AV and have it hooked up to my VCR so I still can watch VHS tapes.

Thank you for the video!!Just recently got a Sony 32 wide screen TV,and i want to connect my Mini PC to use it,for movies or Older games.But wasn't sure if it will work,up until i saw your video with the same converter.I'll go get the HDMI/SCART converter tomorrow :) PS:I wanted to get a HD CRT with HDMI but i didnt knew they were not available in EU....

Well, unfortunately, my scenario is that I really just like how games look on CRT, so I guess none of these tips apply. I joke. Badly. Seriously now, thanks a lot for the straightforward video. I was afraid I'd be much more complicated that this. The Blu-ray of an old gent driving a supercar is adorable.

Storing crt in the basement so better 😅 those things are HEAVY! Defo not lifting that up to the attic 😂

when had the hdmi to scart set up, in order to set up composite rgb phono's all needed to do was a plug in converter that goes from scart to composite, which cost a pound or two.

Your accent is perfect mate ♥️

Just bought a 40 inch Vizio smartcast , I love it

I got a 13 inch crt tv american brand I got for free. Its great for playing retro consoles. I do have the hdmi to composite converter for new stuff.

Great video! This is exactly what i was looking for! Question though, does this only work on HD TV's or also on older model TV's?

I see you had an S-video port on that CRT, that would have done much better than Composite especially in text sharpness. HDMI to S-video adapters tend to have Composite ports too since the audio still uses that same RCA connection. SCART is kind of funny since I've seen models of PAL TV where those 21 pins only do Composite, weird but true. Being from NA you think it's all RGB SCART but I guess it just costed too much to put in all PAL TVs.

Hey Vince I don't know if you'll ever reply to this but I was wondering what model crt you use in this video and would it matter if the crt I'm using is 4:3 or 16:9

I'm gonna plug my $3000 gaming PC to a CRT now

Hi Vince, do you have any idea on how we could produce the same effect but on several CRT TV's (as in like a mosaic wall of CRT TV's displaying as one big screen / or all the same image multiplied) ? Thank you for your video !

Perfect to keep a terminal emulator open on, pretend you're a 70's hacker.

Thanks v much for your videos. Very well done, informative and easy to understand. I have a LG smart tv which unfortunately does not have bluetooth function. How do i make a wireless connection between my tv and my wireless bluetooth headphones? Thanks again.

I like it! I wonder how you could get a light gun working with this and windows 10... Either way thanks!

I have similiar converter, but it's VGA to Scart. I have very old, 386 Dos computer and I want to connect it to CRT Tv. It works, but the problem is that it's cutting left and right side a little. It has a remote with scaler, I can sqeeze the picture and move it around, but the missing part of screen doesn't appear, only blackness moves around. Do you have any idea how to solve it?

I use my main monitor as a disgusting VA panel, since I could not figure out how to get the signal right between my Windows 10 machine (which is a Dell OptiPlex 3070 MFF, with an Intel Core i5-900T and 32GB of RAM) and my small CRT monitor right. For now I am using my Dell OptiPlex GX1 500s+ which I have downgraded from Windows 98 to Windows 3.11 running on MS-DOS 6.22 with my little cathode-ray tube monitor.

I guess i am not a videophile(ok off and on) but it is a blast in terms of novelty for blu rays.

CRT TVs are ancient

Fantastic video!!

Thank you for this video mate

I stayed for the accent, amazing voice pal

thanks man great video!!!

I’m jealous of your 16x9 RGB SD CRT TV, they basically didn’t make these here in the states, 90% of the ones I see on marketplace are 4:3 composite only sets that look like garbage compared to what you have purely because they didn’t spend the 30 cents on a scart connector. All the 16x9 CRTs with YPbPr inputs in the USA are HD sets which have input lag and no scanlines 🤢

Thanks, great video!

even if you already have a monitor you could use this as a duel monitor setup

Helpful video 👍😊

That's a nice CRT though.

Well explained video thank you

I'm gonna use this method to watch classic anime via chromecast this way, also these kind of widescreen crt's are great for wii with scart cables

aww I have a old european crt TV because I live in Germany now I can't do that, but still great Video

Excellent, please one video about adapter hdmi to super video.

We can use Android TV box to an wide CRT TV to stream

That acer lcd display isn't expensive on the used market, if it breaks down. Any other used lcd on ebay or amazon for a price like the converter can replace it these days.

I just subscribe I love your videos

I was born in 2008, I grew up with CRT TVs, they're very neat devices! Especially ones released in 1987 - 2007, my family had a (likely 1990s) NEC CRT TV in the living room of our house and it worked great but I don't really get why did they replace it with a fucking LCD. Hopefully we have another small but not portable Toshiba CRT from the 2000s and I'm thinking of hooking it to a CPU for use with a computer, any attempt of breaking a CRT back then also meant a broken hand instead of a broken screen but LCD is a fucking lazy invention.

Thanks was going to do this for my daughter but wasntvsure about which brand for the converter box

Whenever i try to do that the aspect ratio is messed up because old TVs are 4:3, how do you manage to get the right aspect ratio on your rig?

Who knew PAL crt's are widescreen!

Doesn't the Blu-Ray player already have composite (red, white, and yellow) outputs as well as HDMI?

Cool. You reckon this would work with firestick and freeview receivers etc with hdmi out? I suspect would.

Almost all PAL tv sets work perfectly on NTSC

hii, very informative video. do you have a video of connecting VGA (3 rows of pin) to scart port ? my old laptop have VGA port, which i wanted to connect to my advance LCD tv which have scart port luckily. i tried to diy connect the wire manually according to the diagram online, but i tried 2 type of different wiring diagram, both does not work, however computer notices that i have plugged in the tv (because it changes resolution when i plugged in. (i believe that means the sync signal is work ? or maybe i am wrong) but how come no picture at all. LCD tv shows no signal. why ? i saw 3 type of wiring diagram of vga to scart.. the pins assignment are different. one even requires me to supply 12 v and 5 v to tv thru specific pin of scart.. can you help me ? thanks andrew

I wanna connect my MegaDrive Mini to my SONY Trinitron. Is this what I'm looking for? Any links to the exact same one you're using?

Please give me a link where can I buy this. I have European TV with SCART.

How are you Vince ?

ANYONE GOT LINKS TO THESE PRODUCTS? THANKS GREAT VIDEO

Anyone have a link to where to purchase these devices?

Tbf Clarkson specials are more than watchable in any resolution.

red joy con: HOW ABOUT MEE

So, I had a question- I tried the HDMI converter for playing an android based retro emulator box ( emuelec) on old CRT tv. The result was quiet okay,however I did see flickering. Did anyone know a way to reduce the flicker ?

awesome mate, i just got one for free and its a 27 inch panasonic, how do you get ito the adjustment/service menu, i dont have the remote? :(

But mine is "no signal"....i did very well, please explain 😫😫😫😫😫

People in this comment section calling CRTs ancient, Kids in 2060 calling 4k Tvs ancient Trash

Does anyone know if there’s a way to use a CRT TV that doesn’t have any RCA inputs? I’m looking to connect a vcr or maybe even a DVD player to an old CRT TV.

Thhis crt tv is 16:9 right?

I have spy camera that connects to vcr recorder through scart am looking for a way to hook it up to record onto a pc instead of vcr.

Panasonic quintrix in 16:9? 😮

I have 2 crt monitors and 2 crt tvs one of the tvs is an hd 32 in dynaflat the other is 480i 27 in trinitron love crts have ps3 and ps2 with a bunch of games I hook up to them also = have a pc already that I built for emulators using s vid but might get another adapter for the pc for component one of my crt monitors I found brand new last year other monitor I Found at a church and had a blue tint randomly after warming up almost threw it away glad I didnt I PULLED the neck board out from the tube and reinserted it a few times fixed it must of been dirty contacts to the guns and it looks amazing no problems whatsoever actually looks a bit crisper than my new flat screen crt monitor cause of smaller dot pitch would like to learn about tracing boards and fixing and testing capacitors could maybe keep these things going for years to come caps dry out solder cracks gets old only way these things alive would be to fix problems that will inevitably come

YEET!!

Mate if I just need to plug my laptop into my crt that has RCA only (no scart) could I just get the single box with the hmdi to RCA? Or do I need that switch box as well? Thanks

Exelente
